1. Vegetables provide the entertainment at London’s children’s parties

The best kids parties are full of colour, music, games and laughter. A Secret Seed Society children’s party will bring you all this with vegetables as the stars, the heroes, the entertainers. Your guests will leave with a bounce in their step and an excitement for growing and eating vegetables.

“Vegetables are great food for the imagination, the colours, textures, flavours, and processes from growing, to cooking and finally composting.” Ash Perrin, Secret Seed Society Entertainer.

The parties bring to life characters from the Seed City storybooks. If your child has a favourite vegetable or character let us know and we’ll incorporate it into the show. if you want a special theme just let us know; Pirate Parsnips, Ghoulish Gourds, Princess and the Pea. Remember Cinderella went to the ball in a pumpkin!

Sugar coated pink cup cakes and over the top goodie bags are out, London’s best children’s entertainers are ready to pick up their box of vegetable tricks and visit your party! The parties are adapted to suit your group. We recommend our parties for 3-9 years old.





We provide party bags and prizes that provide fun and inspiration for all the kids after the party has ended without compromising your eco and ethical standards.






Secret Seed Society has worked to make vegetables more loveable through storybooks, theatre shows and workshops but now you can invite us to your birthday party.
Email [email protected] with the details of your party and we will let you know if we can make it and give you a quote, or call Amy 07779 080776.
Secret Seed Society kids parties are currently available in London, if you are not London based please contact us to express your interest.
Specs: max 30 kids, 2 hours, space provided / chosen by you.

2. Get the Kids Out in the Sunshine

Spring is here! Yes, the warmer weather is virtually upon us, meaning that it’s an excellent time to get the little ones out into the garden. But as we all know, often that’s more easily said than done. With so many films and computer games grabbing our kids’ attention these days, getting those couch potatoes out and enjoying some much needed exercise and fresh air can really separate the wheat from the chaff. Thankfully, if you need a secret weapon, the Secret Seed Society is bound to have something to help amongst our exciting range of children’s gifts.

Our range of gardening gifts for children are specifically designed to encourage kids to enjoy what Mother Nature has to offer. There are so many reasons why spending time in the garden is good for your children and our activity books give you and the kids something fun to do together whilst you’re there. They can help take the strain off you by engaging imaginations and plus, the organic seeds and Seed Agent Kit that come with the illustrated story book can provide weeks of excitement even if the rain does decide to come down.

All of our story books are written by different authors, as we know how kids can get bored easily. Each book is a brand new, refreshing adventure ready to be enjoyed and plus, with our 100% post consumer recycled paper and vegetable oil based inks, you don’t have to renege on your eco-friendly principles for once.

Why not explore our website today to find out whether your little vegetables would benefit from one of our children’s gifts. Our website is packed full of information and articles designed to give you hints on healthy eating and tips on making the most of the sunshine this summer.

3. Going Green With Children’s Gardening Gifts

Children absolutely love to create. Whether they’re sculpting works of art at the kitchen table with nothing but modelling clay and unrestrained creativity, or putting the finishing touches on an impressionist masterpiece bound for the dizzying heights of the fridge door; our little ones just love to make things themselves. If your kids are budding artists, why not take their imagination into the sun – filled garden this summer to grow their own veg with the help of our interactive children’s gifts? And after the green fingered fun, you can take the ripe results back indoors for some creative cooking!

You can bet that gardening is something all kids will love, once they get started. Without our help it’s perhaps not something that children would think to do. But in our range of gardening gifts for children you’ll find various activity books and accessories which you can use to get kids digging, potting and growing.

At the Secret Seed Society, it occurred to us that there’s nothing to lose and everything to gain from growing up outdoors. We looked at the wealth of research that shows the great value of sunshine and fresh air to all of us, not just kids. Children who enjoy gardening are more alert, perform better at school, and eat more vegetables. But we also believe that you don’t need statistics to know what’s good for you and your children. You can feel it too. A healthy dose of exercise in the garden can leave you feeling fresh and invigorated, just the way nature intended.

In truth, that’s why we’ve developed this range. We wanted to devise children’s gifts that made a difference. Starting from just £5.50, you’ll find our activity books well written and beautifully illustrated. If you’re concerned that your son or daughter hasn’t enough creative outlets in their life, our children’s gifts can engage creativity in an exciting new way.

4. Easter Already? Avoid Chocolate With Unique Children’s Gifts.

We all understand the importance of providing a well balanced diet for our children on a daily basis. Yet, when it comes to Easter, birthdays and other special occasions it is inevitable that they will be bought chocolate, sweets and treats. As this Easter approaches, how about leaving the treats to friends and family, and instead purchase one of the unique children’s gifts that will keep kids occupied for weeks, not just Easter Sunday.

We have recently launched a new range of books for children that aim to teach kids the importance of eating healthily by showing them how to grow and cook their own fruit and vegetables. Truly eco-friendly children’s gifts, each activity book is printed on recycled paper with vegetable oil based inks and contains a fully illustrated story book, a packet of organic seeds, growing instructions and an easy to follow recipe.

We at The Secret Seed Society believe that making healthy activities more fun for children, is often a much more successful means of getting them to eat healthily. Our activity books take children on a journey from plant to plate, allowing them to get their hands dirty in the garden and the kitchen.

Priced at just £5.50 each, we think these books are an excellent alternative to an Easter egg this April and packs can be purchased easily through the Secret Seed Society shop on our website.

The Secret Seed Society experience doesn’t have to stop with the books, we also have a Seed Agents subscription club. Kids can subscribe for free by logging on to the website, from there they can get involved in activities, enter our competitions and submit their own illustrations.

To browse these children’s gifts or to learn more about the principles behind our organisation and how you can get involved, visit our website. You can also show your support by following one of our popular fictional characters, Peter Parsnip on his Twitter page or how about starting your own Seed Agents club.
